Notes for Stella DUCKWORTH
In August 1896 Stella became engaged to a solicitor, John Waller (Jack) Hills, and Stephen accepted the situation with such good grace as he could muster, but with gloomy prognostications about changes in his household. The wedding took place in April 1897; just over a fortnight later the bride suffered an attack of peritonitis, and following surgery she died, aged only twenty-eight, on 19 July.
